Overall sentiment is predominantly positive for Edgewood Fargo's assisted living services but mixed when it comes to memory care. Many reviewers highlight strong, personalized assessments and an initial intake process that addresses complex needs. Specific staff members (for example, Nurse Sam and staff member Jimmy) were named and praised for facilitating thoughtful transitions and discussing family concerns. Several families said the staff were attentive from day one, respectful, and prioritized residents' needs, and many reviewers felt their loved ones were well taken care of.
Staff and caregiving receive the most consistently positive remarks. Reviewers repeatedly describe staff as friendly, helpful, and respectful, often noting that employees call residents by name and engage personally. Multiple accounts emphasize attentive care, supportive transition assistance, and staff who respond to individual needs. However, this positive picture is not universal: a distinct pattern of mixed experiences emerges specifically for the memory care unit. Several reviews reported inattentive staff or insufficient support in memory care, and at least one family moved their relative to a different facility as a result. This contrast suggests variability in staffing, training, or oversight between assisted living and memory care units.
The facility itself is consistently praised. Reviewers describe Edgewood Fargo as clean, new, and hotel-like, with a warm atmosphere and well-maintained interiors. Apartments are described as very clean and often include private bathrooms. Practical conveniences such as easy parking and proximity to home are mentioned positively. Dining and activities are also strengths: food is called "good," and there are numerous activities throughout the week that contribute to residents' quality of life.
Care level offerings and eligibility are notable themes. The site provides multiple care levels and a memory care/Alzheimer's unit, which is a plus for families looking for on-site progression of care. At the same time, several reviewers experienced eligibility limitations—one reviewer noted their dad did not qualify because he needed more support than the program offers. These reports indicate the facility may have defined thresholds for admission to certain units, and families should confirm whether their loved one’s needs match available services.
Management and logistics present a mixed picture. While many families praised the supportive transition and individualized discussions prior to move-in, there are reports of delayed move-ins and at least one arrival occurring after 8 p.m., which some families found problematic. These logistical inconsistencies, combined with the disparate reports about memory care attentiveness, point to variability in operational execution that prospective residents should explore further.
In summary, Edgewood Fargo receives strong endorsements for its assisted living services: attentive and personable staff, clean and modern facilities, good food, active programming, and convenient location. Memory care experiences are mixed, with specific concerns about staff attentiveness and adequacy of support in that unit, and there are reports of eligibility constraints for higher-need residents. Prospective residents and families would benefit from focused questions during tours about memory care staffing ratios and training, overnight and weekend staffing practices, clear admission/eligibility criteria for higher care levels, and specifics about move-in logistics to ensure expectations align with reality.
